The NU Cheering Squad has unseated three-time streak defender - the UP Pep Squad - in this year's UAAP Cheerdance Competition which was held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. The team, which adapted Arabian theme, also bagged the Group Stunts category award, aside from winning 340k PHP in cash and other prizes.

UP Pep Squad landed second, while the FEU Cheering Squad placed third. The 2013 UAAP Cheerdance Competition was filled with a lot of falls and mistakes compared to last year's which actually declared the same schools as winners which shuffled in different places. Still, kudos to all the schools/performers!

The 2013 UAAP Cheerdance Competition, a UAAP Season 76 highlight, is set to happen today September 15 at SM Mall of Asia Arena (SM MOA).

Eight teams will be vying for the coveted championship title, but one big defender tries hard not to be dethroned. Current defending champ, the UP Pep Squad, has won for three (3) straight years already, and has made a record 17 titles (including 8 championship titles).

The hashtag #915on915 that continuously scatters all throughout social networks means the UP Pep (should it win this year) will be on its 9th win in 15 years, this September 15.

In my opinion, the big two squads to watch out for are last year's 2nd and 3rd placers, the FEU Cheering Squad and the NU Cheer Squadron, which will be performing 1st and fifth, respectively.

Rumor has it that in this year's UAAP CDC, the UP Pep Squad will be unleashing new routines and an exciting theme. More rumors could possibly be true.

Here are the hyped attire rumored for each school/performer. If these are true, I hope it is. :))
